World Radio Switzerland

World Radio Switzerland is a radio station from Switzerland with a focus on world music. At its heart is music from various parts of the world, which deliberately sets itself apart from the usual charts. Listeners encounter traditional sounds as well as modern fusions, in which rhythms from Africa, Latin America, Asia or the Mediterranean region blend with European or popular styles.

Typical of the genre are percussive basic rhythms, singing in many languages and instruments that are rarely heard in Western pop, such as kora, oud or sitar. The station thus invites listeners to a listening experience that convinces above all through timbres and diversity and awakens curiosity about unfamiliar musical traditions.
